Chapter 1 Those Gray-Robed Heretics

"Those gray-robed heretics are level 32 elites." Nie Yan reappeared in front of Tuoba Shi and Shi Fen Hao Shuang after stealthily returning.

"We definitely can't handle three level 32 elites." Tuoba Shi frowned slightly. With their strength, they were simply no match for three level 32 elites. They would probably be wiped out after a round of magic attacks.

"Should we find some teammates to come over?" Shi Fen Hao Shuang asked, putting away the greatsword in his hand.

"Forget about those fair-weather friends. They definitely won't come. The guys from the Ku Ye Studio are all busy forming groups to run dungeons. They probably won't be free until the day after tomorrow. There are only thirty minutes left before we log off, so let's call it a day. We'll bring people over next time." Tuoba Shi said, glancing at the time.

"There really isn't enough time today," Nie Yan said. With only thirty minutes left, it wasn't suitable to enter the central hall. It was better to find a place to log off.

"Are you planning to return to the city?" Tuoba Shi looked at Nie Yan and asked.

Nie Yan shook his head and said, "I'm going to take a look inside."

"You still want to go in?" Shi Fen Hao Shuang asked in surprise. Entering alone was practically suicide.

Tuoba Shi was also puzzled. Although Nie Yan's strength was decent, he was no match for those elites.

"Don't forget, I'm a Thief," Nie Yan said.

Tuoba Shi was stunned, then laughed heartily and said, "I almost forgot about that."

Thieves had a natural advantage, allowing them to reach places other classes couldn't. Ordinary thieves would never dare to go to particularly dangerous places, but he shouldn't look at Nie Yan with the same eyes as an ordinary thief.

Tuoba Shi and Shi Fen Hao Shuang had already witnessed Nie Yan's skills. He might really be able to sneak into the central hall with his abilities.

"If there's any equipment for paladins, save it for me," Tuoba Shi said. He admired Nie Yan for daring to enter such a dangerous place.

"Me too, I want warrior equipment," Shi Fen Hao Shuang chimed in from the side.

"I'm just going in to take a look, I can't guarantee I'll find anything," Nie Yan said. He was only going for the Chapter of Justice. As for other things, it was hard to say, but he might find some good treasure chests inside the Monastery of Light.

"Then we'll go back first," Tuoba Shi said. There was nothing else for them to do here.

"Okay, good," Nie Yan nodded. Tuoba Shi and Shi Fen Hao Shuang definitely couldn't continue forward unless they could find a few more people to clear the area.

"Brother, remember to get some warrior equipment," Shi Fen Hao Shuang grinned.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely save warrior equipment for you," Nie Yan smiled. Shi Fen Hao Shuang lived up to his name, being straightforward and without any hidden agendas. He had a good impression of Tuoba Shi and Shi Fen Hao Shuang, considering them both friends worth making.

Although he was reborn, Nie Yan didn't think his skills could surpass everyone else, but rebirth gave him a huge advantage, which was the ability to recruit outstanding people to his side and have them work for him. The addition of Tuoba Shi and Shi Fen Hao Shuang added two more experts to the Ni Ren (Amazing People) Tribe.

Tuoba Shi and Shi Fen Hao Shuang began to read their town portal scrolls. Two beams of white light flashed, and they disappeared from the spot.

Nie Yan looked at the crossbeam at the top of the corridor, about five yards from the ground. The crossbeam was covered in various carvings, looking very elegant. He wanted to bypass the three gray-robed heretics below, and could only rely on these crossbeams. But now there wasn't enough time. Logging off in the central hall was too dangerous. Nie Yan farmed monsters outside for a while, then found a safe place to log off.

Taking off his helmet, Nie Yan walked out of the room and found packed boxes placed along the hallway in the living room. Many things had been packed up.

Nie's mother came over from the kitchen and saw Nie Yan, saying, "Xiao Yan, we're moving to the provincial capital in a few days. Your father just registered a company, and we're planning to transfer you to a prestigious school in the provincial capital. The teaching quality is better there. If you have time these days, go say goodbye to your classmates."

"Okay, I understand, Mom, I'll help you pack." His mother's words reminded Nie Yan that his parents would be back for a few days before the family moved to the provincial capital. It was about this time.

While Nie Yan and his mother were packing, his father was in the study writing, probably busy with company matters.

Summer vacation was coming to an end, and the new semester was about to begin. Nie Yan thought of Xie Yao. He could finally see her again. He wondered how she was doing. Thinking of her pure smile, a hint of longing arose in his heart, as intense as wine.

For ten whole years, separated by a lifetime, Nie Yan still couldn't suppress this feeling of infatuation.

During his senior year of high school, his heart was filled with only that one beautiful figure. But at that time, he was undoubtedly a failure, so humble that he could only secretly watch her from the corner, feeling satisfied just by seeing her every day.

In this life, Nie Yan would never repeat the mistakes of his previous life.

Nie Yan helped his mother pack various items, packing up some things that needed to be taken.

"Mom, these things don't need to be taken, they're useless," Nie Yan said, pointing to some old objects in the box. He remembered that in his previous life, these things were placed in the basement of the villa and never used, taking up a lot of space.

"It's okay, let's take them all. It's fine if they're in the basement, we can take them out and look at them when we think about it," Nie's mother smiled slightly, looking at these somewhat worn objects, filled with nostalgia and happiness.

When his mother smiled, Nie Yan could clearly see the crow's feet at the corners of her eyes. He suddenly felt a sense of emotion. Unknowingly, his mother had aged. She followed his father in her twenties, gave birth to Nie Yan. His father was in the army for five years, but she never complained. Later, the family reunited, and they had to live a nine-to-five life to make a living. Her youth passed quickly, but she still had no regrets despite the hardship.

Even later, when they had money, his father and mother's relationship was always good.

Although his father was taciturn, he was a man of great loyalty and righteousness, which was what Nie Yan respected most about his father.

His mother took these things, and occasionally took them out to look at them, also reminiscing about the days when they struggled together when they were young. Although it was hard, there was also a kind of ordinary happiness. Nie Yan understood his mother's emotions. These things carried their memories, a couple in distress showing each other lasting love.

Thinking of his previous life, his mother had hardly lived a few comfortable days. Nie Yan couldn't help but feel sad, and a strong sense of responsibility and crisis surged from the bottom of his heart. If anyone dared to touch his mother and father's happiness, he would make that person disappear from the world forever.

"Your Uncle Lin and the others will also move over. We bought a villa in the suburbs. The place is big," Nie's mother explained with a smile, seeing Nie Yan's silence.

"I understand," Nie Yan nodded, smiling, packing up his mother's things one by one, wrapping them in cloth to avoid damage.

"Lin Shu, Liu Shu, Uncle Xiao, and A Chen will all have a certain share in the newly established company. Although our family has gotten better, we can't forget our roots. If it weren't for Lin Shu, Liu Shu, Uncle Xiao, and A Chen taking care of us, we don't know how our family would be doing," Nie's mother said with emotion.

Nie's father was a loyal man. He would remember those who were good to him. At the beginning, Lin Shu, Liu Shu, and Uncle Xiao lent money to their family without any interest, or even if they did, it was very little, just a token amount. As for A Chen, needless to say, he ran errands for Nie Yan's family. He contributed the most to the establishment of the company, so he received the most shares. As for Uncle Da, Aunt Gu, and the others, when Nie Yan's family borrowed money, it was no different from high-interest loans, and they came to demand debt several times when Nie Yan was at home. Having such relatives was truly disheartening.

Just then, there was a knock on the door.

Nie's mother just stood up, and Nie Yan quickly said, "Mom, don't bother, I'll open it."

Nie Yan was much more sensible than before, and Nie's mother showed a gratified smile.

Nie Yan opened the door and saw a disgusting face. Who else could it be but Luo Ming?

"Xiao Yan, are your father and mother home?" Luo Ming's smile was awkward and a little ingratiating.

"Get lost." Nie Yan's face turned cold. It was precisely because they begged shamelessly that his father gave them some shares. Who would have thought that they would later join forces with Cao Xu, an outsider, and bite back, leading to the loss of control of the company and his father's depression and death. Nie Yan would never let such a thing happen again in this life.

"How can you talk like that? I'm your uncle." Luo Ming tried to suppress Nie Yan with his status, but seeing Nie Yan's frosty face, even the last bit of confidence disappeared.

Just as Nie Yan was about to close the door, Nie's mother's voice came from behind: "Xiao Yan, who is it?"

"It's me, sister. Xiao Yan won't let me in. I'll just say a few words to you and leave." Luo Ming said shamelessly.

Nie's mother frowned and said, "Xiao Yan, let him in."

Nie Yan thought for a moment, not daring to disobey his mother's words, and stepped aside.

Luo Ming squeezed in, followed by his aunt, aunt, and others.

Luo Ming glanced at the study and then chuckled drily, "Brother-in-law is busy inside."

"What's the matter? Speak." Nie's mother remembered the faces they had when her family borrowed money from them. They were no different from strangers and showed an unhappy expression.

"Those things before, it was really our fault. Sister, don't be angry with your brother-in-law. We're here to apologize." The aunt's croaking voice was very harsh.

"Although we were a little indifferent at the time, we still lent you money, didn't we? Now that your family has become rich, you've abandoned us. There's no such thing. Such a principle doesn't make sense anywhere." The aunt sneered from the side.

"Xiao Yu's words are a little unpleasant, but they are also reasonable. People can't forget their roots." The aunt said, one playing the white face and the other playing the red face, and they spoke frankly.

Nie's mother's face was not good-looking, and she retorted: "You lent us usurious loans. Did you consider the affection of relatives when you borrowed money from you at the beginning?"

A look of embarrassment flashed across the faces of the aunt and aunt.

"With your family conditions at the time, who would dare to lend you money? Those who lend usurious loans outside are still afraid that they won't be able to get their money back. Now it's good, you have money, so you turn your face and don't recognize people?" The aunt said harshly.

"That's right, we'll just ask anyone to judge. There's no such reason in the world." The aunt shouted.

"Why are Lin Shu, Lao Liu and these outsiders able to get shares when you start a company, but not us?" Luo Ming's face was also red and his neck was thick.

The mother's temper was very soft. How could she be a match for the aunt and aunt when it came to quarreling? She was so upset that her eyes were red and she was about to cry: "Put your hands on your heart and ask yourselves, are you better to our family than Lao Lin and Lao Liu these outsiders?"

Nie Yan clenched his fists, looking at the ugly faces of this group of people, and was about to rush up and fight them.

"You let your brother-in-law come out and speak. If he also gives each of us 3% of the shares, then that's it. If you don't give it, we'll go out and find someone to reason with." Luo Ming cursed towards the study.

Nie's father walked out of the study and glanced coldly at Luo Ming and others.

Luo Ming immediately shut up. He was still a little afraid of this brother-in-law who had served in the army.

"Have you finished talking? If you're done, hurry up and leave. It's impossible to want shares." He walked to Nie's mother's side and patted her on the back. Her mother found an outlet all of a sudden, and tears fell like beads.

"Brother-in-law, we came here today to have a good talk, but you are too much." Luo Ming frowned.

"Get out of here, if you talk nonsense again, I'm going to do something." Nie Yan's eyes were fixed on Luo Ming.

"Look at your son, how does a child talk!" Luo Ming also became angry and slapped Nie Yan's head. He seemed to have forgotten that Nie Yan was no longer the Nie Yan he used to be.

Nie Yan thought of his unpleasant experiences in the past. When he was a child, Luo Ming kicked him a lot, and very hard, When he went back with injuries, his mother felt distressed when she looked at him, and couldn't stop crying.

Nie Yan reached out and grabbed Luo Ming's hand that was hitting him, and twisted it back.

Luo Ming let out a scream: "Let go, let go!"

Nie Yan carried Luo Ming, opened the door, and threw Luo Ming out.

"Are you going out by yourselves, or will I throw you out?" A trace of violence flashed in Nie Yan's eyes. From the moment he shot and killed Cao Xu, he was no longer the weak Nie Yan he used to be.

The aunt and others were startled by Nie Yan and went out cursing.

Nie Yan slammed the door shut with a bang.

"Mom, don't cry, it's not worth it for them." Nie Yan comforted his mother.

Although Nie's father was a little blamed for Nie Yan's excessive behavior just now, after thinking about it, he figured it out. After they went out, Nie Yan must have been embarrassed by Luo Ming and others at home.

Nie's mother also felt helpless about having such a brother, but she was just sulking.

It took a whole day to help his mother pack up. In the evening, his mother bought vegetables and came back and made a table of delicious dishes, and the family was happy.

"I heard that the conditions in the noble school over there are very good, but the teaching quality in the provincial capital is higher than here. Xiao Yan, you have to keep up with your studies, don't fall behind." Nie's father patted Nie Yan on the shoulder, showing a little more intimacy compared to his previous life.

"Okay, I'll work hard." Nie Yan was just thinking about making the two elders happy. As for studying, the high school courses were not difficult for him at all.

"When I came back from buying vegetables at night, I heard that Xiao Yu was telling people in the community that we were not good, saying that we had forgotten our roots and forgot our relatives when we became rich." Nie's mother said, this matter was really stuck in her heart.

"Let them say whatever they want. Those who are clear will clear themselves, and those who are turbid will be turbid. People with clear eyes can see what kind of virtue they have." Nie's father didn't think it was a big deal.

"Mom, Dad is right, why bother worrying about this kind of thing." Nie Yan comforted him.

After eating, Nie Yan chatted with his parents for a while. He was going to the provincial capital the day after tomorrow. After settling down for a few more days, school would start. When he thought that he would be able to see Xie Yao soon, Nie Yan couldn't help but feel a little excited, and memories flooded into his mind. At this time, Xie Yao should still be alone. Her relationship with Liu Rui seemed to have started after entering college, when they happened to be in the same school.

In other words, Nie Yan still had a chance.

Thinking of this, Nie Yan calmed down his impetuous mood, walked into the room, and put on his helmet.

Re-entering the game, the red-robed heretics nearby had refreshed. During the period of invisibility when he went online, Nie Yan found a safe place and slowly became solid.

Looking into the distance, the three gray-robed heretics were still guarding the entrance of the central hall.

Nie Yan entered a stealth state and touched towards there. When he arrived under the corridor crossbeam, he stretched out his hand and shot out a spider silk, sticking to the crossbeam. With a sudden pull, his body flew into the air and flew towards the crossbeam above. He used the skill on the Creeper's Ring and stuck to the crossbeam like a spider.

Nie Yan hid behind the crossbeam,贴贴close to the ceiling, activated Disappearance, and quickly crawled forward, crawling over the heads of these gray-robed heretics.

These gray-robed heretics were still wandering, and they didn't find Nie Yan.

After passing over the heads of these gray-robed heretics, he entered the central hall. A spacious and magnificent hall appeared in front of Nie Yan. Giant pillars stood on both sides, spaced about five or six yards apart, with hundreds of them. A red carpet was laid in the middle, leading to the distance.

Some humanoid monsters wearing silver armor walked back and forth in the hall. They held greatswords and were melee monsters.

In the corners on the left and right sides of the distant hall, there were two boxes, shining with dark gold metallic luster.

Nie Yan's heart jumped, it was an dark gold treasure chest!

He didn't expect that there would be an dark gold treasure chest in this hall. This was the benefit of pioneering. Once a treasure chest was opened, it would disappear. Gold treasure chests, silver treasure chests, and ordinary treasure chests would refresh again at uncertain times, but dark gold treasure chests would never refresh.

However, there were more than a dozen humanoid monsters guarding each of the two dark gold treasure chests.

Nie Yan hid in the corner and threw an Investigation at a humanoid monster wearing silver armor nearby.

Fallen Silver Armor Knight: Level 33 Elite, Health 5000/5000.

Seeing the attributes of the Fallen Silver Armor Knight, Nie Yan took a breath of cold air. Were there more than thirty silver armor knights in this hall, all of them level 33 elites?

If so, it would be a little difficult to deal with. As paladin-type humanoid monsters, they had thick health, high attacks, and often had skills that could detect thieves' invisibility. And they were level 33 elites, so Nie Yan couldn't compete with them at all.

Nie Yan frowned, at a loss. It was basically impossible to sneak over using Stealth. These paladins would definitely find him.

Seeing the pillars in front, he suddenly had an idea. Why not use these pillars!

Thinking of this, Nie Yan smiled slightly. Why wouldn't he use such a simple method!

Nie Yan used the Creeper's Ring to climb onto a pillar, hung it with the Weaver's Ring, about five yards from the ground, and then took out the Bloodthirsty Crossbow, aimed at one of the Fallen Silver Armor Knights, and swish, swish, swish, three arrows shot towards one of the Fallen Silver Armor Knights.

Puff, puff, puff, the three arrows hit the Fallen Silver Armor Knight at the same time, and three damage numbers of about -30 floated above the Fallen Silver Armor Knight's head.

Nie Yan's attack damage was indeed much higher than before.

The Fallen Silver Armor Knight found Nie Yan and pounced towards Nie Yan.

However, he hovered around the pillar for a while, but he couldn't attack Nie Yan and couldn't do anything to Nie Yan.

Nie Yan was suspended in the air more than five yards high, and his jumping ability couldn't reach that height at all. He could only spin around the pillar.

Nie Yan shot another arrow, and three arrows hit the Fallen Silver Armor Knight at the same time. Since the Fallen Silver Armor Knight entered the aura range of Nie Yan's Intermediate Demon Hunter, each arrow caused about 50 points of damage, which was quite considerable, and occasionally there would be an armor-piercing attack, which could cause more than 150 points of damage.

Nie Yan kept shooting, and the Fallen Silver Armor Knight's health quickly dropped. In just five minutes, it had dropped to only 30% of his health.

The Fallen Silver Armor Knight waved the greatsword in his hand, and a beam of gray light fell, and the health instantly returned to full.

These Fallen Silver Armor Knights had Healing, which was a bit depressing. Nie Yan continued to shoot arrows. In general, the mana of these creatures should be very limited, at most supporting them to cast Healing two or three times. He had to use up their mana first before they could lose health.

It would be great if there was equipment with Dispelling attributes. Every time he attacked the opponent, in addition to losing health, mana would also be lost, which was the trump card against magic and paladins. However, Dispelling attributes were generally carried by sub-legendary equipment.

The Fallen Silver Armor Knight's health continued to drop, and soon there was only a little bit left. He cast Healing on himself again, and the health returned to about 50%.

It seemed that the Fallen Silver Armor Knight could only cast one major Heal on himself. The remaining mana was only enough to cast minor Heal.

Nie Yan kept the frequency of shooting arrows, and the Fallen Silver Armor Knight's health dropped bit by bit, and finally his health was exhausted and fell to the ground.

Successfully killed a Fallen Silver Armor Knight!

Nie Yan jumped down from the pillar, landed steadily, and picked up the things dropped by the Fallen Silver Armor Knight.

It was a relatively special item.

Blade of Segmentation (Fragment): Quantity 1/20.

The Blade of Segmentation was here? Nie Yan's heart jumped. No one knew better than him how powerful the Blade of Segmentation was. After he got the Blade of Segmentation in his previous life, he didn't change it until level 60. On the one hand, he couldn't find good suitable equipment, on the other hand, it was because the Blade of Segmentation was too strong.

The Blade of Segmentation was known as the most powerful cleaver before level 50!
